You, my dear friends...

I've had so many people ask how I can do it... manage on just 2-4 hours of sleep, raise my kids, homeschool my preK son, be a mom, and run a business... and the simplest answers are--YOU and just loving what I do! It's easy to see that when you do something, you want to be recognized. If you put your heart into your labor you want others to see your effort. I truly believe I put my soul into this business. I've never done a thing halfway... I've never done a thing and not been successful. That's just who I am, how I am. My family will all attest to that.

However, at the end of the day it's logging into my email, myspace, my blog, whatever venue... and finding pictures of daughters and granddaughter's wearing my bows--the "Oh my gosh, this is perfect! Thank you so much." that keeps me going.

Then, when I lay my head on my pillow at 2-3 a.m. I think... this is all I wanted, to be able to stay home with my children, raise my children and teach them what I belived to be honorable and moral, while running a business, while being successful, and while providing an income so my husband didn't have to pick up another job!

I owe my friends, my family, and my devoted customers so very much! You don't know how wonderfully each of you has blessed me and continue to bless me.

I have a long, hard road ahead of me for the next six months... but knowing that you are here with me... here for me... I know that things will be okay.

I love you all!

And a big wooHoo to Devan. Check out her new Evie & She Designs site! It's a work in progress but all progress begins with the first step. You go girl! So glad to have you on my team!
